We’ve Moved!

Eight prospective retailers have applied for licenses to sell
recreational marijuana in Kitsap County so far, according to an
early
list of applicants released by the state Liquor Control Board.
Six of the applications are for Bremerton locations. Silverdale and
Poulsbo each have one proposed shop.

Thirteen have applied to produce (grow) marijuana, and 13 have
applied to process marijuana. Nearly all the applicants seeking
producer licenses also applied for processing licenses, with a
couple of exceptions. Producer and processor applications came from
all over the county, including Bainbridge Island.

The port will complete a $50,000 HVAC installation at the
building. Triton plans to add more office space, and grade a
portion of the yard. The company will employ 15-20 people at the
site, according to the agenda summary.

Owner Kenda Moreno said the business is relocating to a
15,000-square-foot space at 2789 NW Randall Way. She wanted to keep
the gym in North Kitsap, but wasn’t able to secure a lease she
said. Her main priority was getting the doors open again. The
competitive gymnastics season is already underway.

Zero Gravity’s teams are already practicing in the new location.
Classes will resume Dec. 1. North Kitsap School District is no
longer contracting with the gym for facilities for its gymnastics
programs, Moreno said.

Zero Gravity is sharing a complex with Castle Megastore – an
adult “boutique.” Moreno admits the pairing isn’t ideal, but she
was left with few options and believes the new location will be
successful.

A custom Healthplanfinder truck and trailer
will roll onto the Olympic College campus Thursday. Assisters from
Kitsap Public Health
District will be on hand to answer questions about the health
insurance plans offered through the Washington exchange. Attendees
can peruse plans and sign up for coverage using laptops provided in
the trailer.

The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1395 Broadway,
between the student center and engineering rotunda.

Comcast Business is extending its
high-speed broadband network to cover “underserved commercial
areas” of Kitsap County, beginning with Silverdale.

The company will expand commercial Internet and Ethernet service
in areas surrounding Silverdale Way NW, NW Myhre Road and Bucklin
Hill Road this fall and winter, according to a news release.
Expansion elsewhere in Kitsap will continue next year.

The project will connect specific businesses that have requested
service and extend the network along right-of-ways to meet future
demand, according to the release.

Halbert said he plans to establish several more franchises in
the Puget Sound area if the South Kitsap enterprise proves
successful. He has his eye on Bellevue and North Seattle as
possible locations. Port Orchard store owner Meri Blaisdell
suggested Poulsbo, with its European theme, could be a good fit for
a Proper British Bacon.

About 25 percent of the customers who frequent the Auburn
location are British expats, Halbert said. The shop has an
especially strong following among Microsoft employees and makes
regular deliveries to the Redmond campus.

Halbert is already seeking U.S. Department of Agriculture
certification to sell Proper British Bacon branded products in
supermarkets.

Now Whiskey Creek is changing hands. Longtime owners Pat and
Karan Ziarnik are retiring and turning the operation over to
employees Jon and Brandi Trunnell.

The restaurant will reopen Nov. 18, according to an email from
the Trunnells. They plan to revamp Whiskey Creek’s lunch and dinner
menus, and add a new happy hour. The restaurant will also open
seven days a week, instead of five.
